road, about three miles from tne city limit,
of Baltimore, tn which city be Is paving hi,

Elliott wan at an early age apprenticed to the
shoe trale. After the completion of his ap
prenticeship he began business on Baltimore
street. In the spring of 1SS4 the town was
flooded with posters, stating that Professor
liilla, a famous balloonist, would give ex
hibitions of his skill and daring from
Federal Hill lot Llliott, bocomlng great
ly Interested in tlioeo ascensions, made
the acquaiutaure of Professor Mills and
secured from him tbe promise of an as
cension as soon as he should return from
Philadelphia. Professor Mills' ascension at
Philadelphia, however, whs unsuccessful.
His balloon became unmanageable, and, find
ing himself drifting seaward, with both night
and a storm coming on, made a perilous
jump into the top of a grove of pine trees,
abandoning his balloon and severely injuring
himself.
Young Elliott had by this time become
thoroughly enthused upon tbe subject, and
nothing but a trial would satisfy him.
Everybody laughed at the idea of plain
George Elliott, whom they all knew so well,
going up in a lalloon. Nothing daunted,
however, he succeeded in saving sufficient
money to buy the materials and made a hand
some balloou.
TIIKY WERE PICKLXD.
Professor Elliott, in speaking of hi, adven
tures, said: "1 mode my first ascension on
Aug. 6, ISM, the twenty-ninth anniversary of
my birth. I took with me as companion a
little son of Mr. Redman, proprietor of a sa
loon on Pratt street. After being in the air
for about a half hour we were overtaken by
a terrible storm, and came near losing our
lives. I was afterwurd told by the spectators
that it was an awful sight to see the balloon
tossed hither and thither among tbe black
clouds, with tbe lightning playing about it as
though it offered some terrible fascination
for that destructive Buid. The mot het of the
boy who was with me fainted at the sight,
and was thought to be dead. The storm quiet
ing, we sailed toward the bay
"When off Hawkins' joint the valve be
came disarranged, and we were precipitated
Into tbe water. The steamer Maryland was
coming up tbe river with an excursion party
from Annapolis. Those on board sighted us
while we were wtill in midair, and when they
saw us foiling a panic provaiied on board.
The steamer was so near us that I could see
the commotion on hor, and to quiet it told the
boy, who maintained wonderful presence of
mind, to wave his hat, which be did, amid
great cheering. We were taken on board the
steamer and congratulated. One old lady,
putting her arms around my neck, said: 'The
lord has preserved your Referring to our
briny bath, I replied: 'o, ma'am; he has
pickled us.'

ana aecension, except that it was a smtrular

My first ascension from Charleston was
made from Meeting street. I was carried

immensely weajtny planter, resided on Wad

My second ascension wot uneventful On
my third, J reached the height of three and a
half or four miles, and was In the air about

been unable to descend earlier on account of
some difficulty in opening the valve of the
oauoon. v ben 1 descended it was perfectly
dark, and 1 alighted In the bay about ten or
twelve muss outside the bar, where I re
mained for several hour, supported by the
balloon, whan a skiff from pilot boat Cora,
Capt. Aldert, came to my relief. I was
transferred from the Cora, in the vicinity of
Sullivan's Island, to the steamboat Etiwan,
Capt Bastard, which boat bad been dispatched
to my assistance at a late hour of the night
"After the events 1 continued my tour to
New Orleans, where I made ascensions from
a part of town called Lafayette. My first
trip occupied three hours, and I landed on the
battleground where Gen. Jackson, with his
Kentucky and Mississippi riflemen, defeated
Gen. Pakecham, with hi, Fnn regulars.

A DAXGEROCa RIDE.
"My second ascension, which was the most
unfortunate I have ever had, was mads from
the state house yard. The ascension, accord
ing to advertisement, was to be made at 4 p.
m. i but at midday the wind began to blow
from the east, and as it appeared to be on the
Increase, I determined to start as soon as pos
sible. Dr. Btillwell, a wealthy merchant,
had engaged passage; but, the weather look
ing so bad, I refused to take him, much to
that gentleman's disgust Making all ready, I
Jumped into the car , and, watching my chance,
when tbe ballon reached its perpendicular,
gave the word to let go. A slight delay oc
curred before executing the order, and a
heavy flaw of wind struck the balloon Just as
she bounded from the earth. Before 1 had
time to think the car of the balloon collided
with the tall chimney on 'the state house,
knocking about ten feet of it down and bruis
ing me considerably. Fifteen brick, fell in
the car, the weight of which was not suffi
cient to bring the balloon to the ground, yet
was too great to permit it to rise higher in
the air. Consequently, under the influence
of the wind, which was on the increase, the
balloon went careening just a few feet above
the housetops.
"With frantic energy I began throwing
bricks, sand bags and everything I could out
at the car. While thus engaged 1 kept a
harp lookout Presently 1 saw that a col
lision with the dormer window of the Runs
of Louisiana was unavoidable, and prepared
myself for it by crouching down in the car.
The balloon escaped it, but the car, from the
momentum it had gained, was thrown clear
through the window, m .hitc the sash, and
then as violently Jerked out again. The
hock of the collision broke my thigh, and
rendered me senseless. The balloon continued
its flight until caught in the rigging of a
Dutch ship which wa, lying alongside the
levee. 1 wa, rescued from my perilous posi
tion. Baltimore American.

Fancies Concerning the Opal.
On of the prettiest combination, In the
Jeweler's art Is the opal surrounded with dia
monds. The foolish prejudice and dark super
stitions are rapidly dying out, and the value
erf the gem, which had reached low water
mark during its banishment, has increased
fully 80 par cent During the last two year,
the trade and demand in the gem have in
creased at a rapid pace, and ten times as
many opals are imported now a during the
preceding decade.
Fifteen year, ago the popularity of the
tone began to wane, until scarcely one was
to be awn at a fashionable gathering. Many
ladle, who were above being swayed by
superstitious f ancle, admitted they held inde
finable prejudice, against the fiery, gleaming
combination. It is the jewel of October, and
a'i born in that month may safely stifle all
fear, they may entertain regarding it, and
wear the opal with impunity. San Francisco

The A kg era in its suburban correspon

adventure of tbe well known Tavlor

buck. Tbe incident, it teems, has at
tracted such attention a, to receive due
notice anions! the remarkable experiences
fully described from week to week by the
Ameriean Field. From this the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat gains knowledge of the
occurrence and with fitting illustiatious
copies the report of Mr. Mudge's expert
ence as follows:

attracted the attention of the passtngers.
When lay lor Kidge station, a short dis
tance away, wns rtacnea, a party was
mide up to go after the quarry which
was neia lest by the fence. Station
Agent Mudge secured a hatchet his
only available weapon, and, jump

spot where the buck was held cap
tive. Full of confidence, Mudee ad

give the finishing stroke at the center of

animal, with hair upraised along the

I happened to become a specialist in this line
ol detective work, but I suppose it was bo
cause I was suocesul in the first case I at
tempted. Let me sec; that was back in the
sixties. I was sirt ng in my office one day,
chewing the cud of iwitecunious idleness
for I wut:nt very vll known then when a
woman, dressed it widow's weeds, entered.
She stated that bt r husband had recently
died, as she and eve ry one else supposed, pos
sessed of consider itle property in bonds.
Despite a systematic search, nothing of thee
bonds could be discovered. Her lawyer, with
whom I chanced t) bo acquainted and for
whom I had once done a good turn, had
recommended hor to ma Sho lived on Long
Island, and I accompanied her home. As
she had informed me, I learned on arrival
that an extended search bad been made, but
wan no satisfactory rosult I learned, fur
ther, that tho man :iad uot been miserly, and
from that I argued that be bad not used any
of the complicated methods of concealment
common to gentlemen of a pouuriou turn of
mind. I found the this business had token
him frequently awt y from home, and that
he had formerly been a seafaring man.
A thorough search had been made of all his
familiar haunts. I asked about his clothes.
"Lord a massy !" exclaimed his widow.
Joan wore the meanest duds yon ever see.
We couldn't get him to keopdacent things on
nts nack."
"May I see what lie hadf" I asked.
I was then inform xl that after the clothing
had bom thoroughly searched, and ripped
and prodded with knitting noodles, it bad
been given away to a poor man in the vil
lag.
I wn, det?rminT. to have those clothes,
for I argued in this way: Tbe man was not
miserly, and therefore had not used any ex
traordinary method of concealmnnt; he had
been in the habit of making short trips from
home, and from that 1 judged he must have
carried his money w tb him. This judgment
was further eonrmd by the fact that not
ing had been discovered in any of the rooms
wnicn ne naa occupt l, and that be had been
a sailor. Now, sailors, you know, almost
m ways carry thou? ray about their Derms.
This fart, coupled with the others, made me
feel more than ever that the money was
somewhere in those clothes. Finally they
were orougnt in, ana a pretty soedy looking
soi oi rags mcy were, with one exception.
Around the edge ol the coat wa, a broad
binding, neatly sewec: on. and in much better
condition than the rest of the cloth.
"He kopt his cloth' neatly bound." I re
